Microsoft to ditch support for IE6 in Office Web Apps

Seriously: any CTO/CIO who makes his organization use Microsoft web stuff, be it Sharepoint or Outlook Web Access or ASP.NET, it doesn't matter, should be fired and be registered on a worldwide "IT offender registry" so we can look up the name and not hire them ever again.

If you put ASP.NET in the same class as Sharepoint or OWA, you clearly haven't ever used it. Please spare us the closed-minded "zomg micro$oft sux0rz!" comments, I can go to Slashdot for that.

Funny, I feel that way about small companies that insist on only using free software, even if there's better commercial software out there.

We're going to need a companion "IT Offender Registry" iPhone app. Or maybe just an IE6 user locator. For taunting purposes.

I am working for a company that uses Microsoft stuff exclusively and it's not half bad. Sometimes I may have to fire up IE to open a page or two.

My college insisted on paying for Outlook Web Access for all student email. It was more than half bad. I still get the shivers just thinking about it.

I've used OWA, and it isn't that bad. It's not nearly as nice as Outlook, but as a web client it is not that bad.

You've seen Exchange 2007 Outlook Web Access?
